Prairie Lotus is a powerful
touching
multi-layered book about a girl determined to fit in and realize her dreams: getting an education
becoming a dressmaker in her father's shop
and making at least one friend. Acclaimed
award-winning author Linda Sue Park has placed a young half-Asian girl
Hanna
in a small town in America's heartland
in 1880. Hanna's adjustment to her new surroundings
which primarily means negotiating the townspeople's almost unanimous prejudice against Asians
is at the heart of the story. Narrated by Hanna
the novel has poignant moments yet sparkles with humor
introducing a captivating heroine whose wry
observant voice will resonate with readers.
